Title: Top 5 Overrated LEGO Set Investments 2022
Hey there, fellow LEGO investors! Today, we’re going to delve into the world of overrated LEGO set investments. Now, before you start throwing bricks at me, let me make it clear that just because these sets are overrated doesn’t mean they’ll be terrible investments. It simply means you might want to adjust your expectations. So, without further ado, here are the top five overrated LEGO set investments of 2022. Let’s dive right in!
Number 5: 75280 LEGO Star Wars 501st Clone Legion Battle Pack
Ah, the 501st Battle Pack. This set has been hyped to the moon and back, and for good reason. Clone Minifigures have been hot in the retirement market for quite some time now. However, due to the massive hoarding of sealed copies of this set by investors, it’s unlikely to see significant price appreciation in the short to medium term. Moreover, rumors of a new and improved 501st specialist battle pack in 2023 might overshadow this one. So, let’s not get too carried away with the hype, shall we?
Number 4: 75305 LEGO Star Wars Scout Trooper Buildable Helmet
Okay, I have to admit, I may have fallen for the hype on this one. The Scout Trooper helmet gained popularity after the Imperial Pilot helmet exploded in price. However, unlike its exclusive counterpart, the Scout Trooper helmet isn’t a Target exclusive, making its chances of replicating the same gains quite slim. In other words, it’s just as likely as me finding a girlfriend anytime soon (which is pretty much next to zero).
Number 3: 75317 LEGO BrickHeadz The Child and The Mandalorian
Baby Yoda, the Mandalorian, and BrickHeadz – it sounds like the perfect recipe for a successful LEGO investment, right? Well, not quite. While this set is highly in demand and collectible, a few red flags should give us pause. Firstly, it’s not a LEGO store exclusive, reducing its rarity. Secondly, this set has been sitting on shelves for way too long, almost three years to be exact. So, perhaps it’s time to reconsider whether to invest or not.
Number 2: 21318 LEGO Ideas Tree House
It’s hard not to love the LEGO Tree House. It’s a popular set among collectors and investors alike, with its top-tier build and stunning display. However, it’s become a victim of its own success. This set has been a cash cow for LEGO since its release in 2019, and when LEGO finds a money-maker, they tend to produce it for years on end. This flood of supply in retirement will be like a tsunami hitting the aftermarket, potentially stagnating the price. It’s a tough pill to swallow, just like middle school teaching careers.
Number 1: 71040 LEGO Disney Castle
Ah, the iconic Disney Castle. It’s a beauty, no doubt about that. But here’s the thing – it’s been on shelves for six long years. With such an extended period of availability, the supply for this set is overwhelming. Not to mention the logistical nightmare of shipping and storing such a massive set. While it may still hold value, the ceiling for this investment is significantly limited.
And there you have it, folks, the top five overrated LEGO set investments of 2022. Remember, this video is not financial advice, just a lighthearted look at LEGO investments. So, adjust your expectations accordingly and happy investing!
